He was Australia's Prime Minister. As such, his duties included:
- Making the official announcement that Australia was at war with Germany.
- He strove to secure greater British commitment to the defence of Singapore, as this would mean more security for Australia (unfortunately, he failed in this endeavour).
- He was required to make decisions on the direction and use of manpower.
- He made decisions on how women could best be used in the services - this was a novel concept in this part of the 20th century.
- He also needed to direct rationing of food and goods.
